“Success is not something that comes overnight. It's when every day you get a little better than the day before”.

It fills me with immense pleasure and gratitude to be elected as the Head Girl of this prestigious institution, for which I am humbled and thankful to God, my parents, the management, and the entire Marian family. I am indebted with immeasurable responsibilities to my school which has nurtured me for the past 13 years.

Driven by our school motto ‘Lead Kindly Light’, I along with the school cabinet, aim to show an exemplary way of dealing with day-to-day challenges but at the same time not losing sight of our goal.

As the Head Girl, I would like to say to all my juniors and peers that words and ideas can change the world. Have faith in yourself, stick to the values, maintain your integrity, stand for the right, and be courageous to think differently. Be the first change to bring a difference in the world. With this wish and motive, I pray from the core of my heart.

“May the glory of St. Mary’s Convent Sr. Sec. School outshine in the Zenith of Heaven”.

Ishika Grag (Head Girl 2023-2024)

A leader is the one who out of the clutter brings simplicity, out of discord……..harmony and out of difficulty……..opportunity.

To be appointed as the Head Girl is definitely an honour as well as great responsibility. Being Head Girl isn’t about being better than anyone else but it’s about winning the trust of the student body and to organize and represent them with honesty and enthusiasm. I express my heartfelt gratitude to the Almighty God for his countless blessings. I would like to sincerely thank Rev. Fr. Kartik Abel, Resp. Sr. Principal, Sr. Vice Principal, Sr. Coordinator, teachers who have always believed in my capability.

St. Mary’s Convent Sr. Sec. School, my second home, has given me everything one could ask for .The responsibility i am bestowed with is something i have been dreaming of since i was a child.

St. Mary’s isn’t just a set of building we visit every day; it is a part of our identity. It is within these walls that we learn the most valuable lessons of life which will define us what we are, in our future life ahead.

I would like to urge all Marians to be ideal students, so that we can take our school to greater heights of success. We will walk this path together and work in union to keep St. Mary’s flag flying high up in the sky, mounted with love, hoisted with dignity and fluttering with grace.

Being appointed as The Head Girl of the institute where I have spent the past fourteen years of my life. It is god's blessing, along with the love and support of my family and friends, that has brought me here. I am grateful to our Respected Sister Principal Sr. Maya for deeming me worthy enough to hold this prestigious p ost, and to all my teachers who believed in me and saw something that I myself could never have.

I promise to live up to the trust shown in me by giving my best and leading the school with confidence and grace.

St. Mary's isn't just a set of building we visit every day, it is a part of our identity. It is within these walls that we learn the most valuable lessons of life which will define us what we are, in our future life ahead. I believe that the purpose of life is to live it. You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously. Soak in those small moments that make your day, and never stop dreaming. I am aware that my actions shall have behind vivid footprints, and thus I look forward to inspire others through my actions and along with the cabinet members, take the school to new zenith of excellence with the motto of 'Lead kindly Light'.

I have always believed that leaders are created and not born and thus my message to all the upcoming leaders shall be, "With integrity, insight, inclusiveness and a relentless spirit you can unlock the hidden treasure of your talents and abilities because a bird sitting on the tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, si nce it's trust is not on the branch but on it’s own wings!!

Thank You

“LEADERS BECOME GREAT NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR POWER BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR ABILITY TO EMPOWER OTHERS” said by John Maxwell. I Vanshika Deswal, the head girl of our School feel privileged as I open my heart down. On behalf of the school cabinet members I would like to thank our Principal, Teachers and Students who have always believed in us and our abilities to lead the school. To be appointed as the head girl is definitely a blessing as well as a great honour. For me, it has brought both a sense of pride and responsibility. My message to the students is that the future depends on what you do today, learn from yesterday and live for today. Be what you want to be and not what others want you to be. As Mahatma Gandhi rightly said “Be the change that you wish to see in the world”. Therefore we the cabinet members promise to stand up to all the expectations and fulfill our duties with complete dedication. We, as leaders are just to lead but work in collaboration with each other and to achieve the best for our school. We promise to work hard with all our zeal, devotion and determination. We will try our best and work persistently for the excellence of our school.

“One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99, who have only interests”.

Your dreams push you to try new things and that might mean that you may not succeed at first. But with determination, hard work and time; eventually you will.

Being the Head Girl of this institution for the session 2017-18, I Pratima Sharma consider it as a great opportunity: an opportunity to inculcate values, discipline and harmony in the lives of others; an opportunity to lead by example. This indeed is an opportunity to create a shared vision for a better society.

This institution is extraordinary because it encourages each other to exercise our optimal potentialities. Our curriculum is not merely academic but strive to take advantages of every opportunity. It is because of St. Mary’s that I have changed and grown into a better person.

Many people would perceive the role of the Head Girl as one with greater power over others. I differ to support. For me the role of a Head Girl is one of responsibility. As a student leader, it becomes my responsibility to align student’s conduct and behavior with the principles and expectations of the school. I look upon this position to motivate the Marians to use the platform of various opportunities, provided by the school and participate with both a zeal to learn and a spirit to excel.

Also, I shall look forward to hear student’s view; lend them both an ear and a shoulder in order to fulfill my duties as a true leader.

My nine years of experience at St. Mary’s have shaped me into what I am today and it will help me to deal with the practical world in a more effective manner.

At last I can only commit that I will give my best to keep up the honour of this responsibility bestowed upon me.

Pratima Sharma (Head Girl 2017-18)
